Tony did not understand why his best friend, Clarence, asked him to go to an Alcoholics Anonymous support group. He had been sober since his divorce was final. Yet, when he told Clarence about his encounter with a guy named Cupid, Clarence laughed in his face.

"Mythological angels don't exist, period," was Clarence's response. Thus, he had a feeling that Tony hallucinated and was back to his old habits again.

Tony gave up, despite the numerous excuses he gave to his friend. But in return, he placed a bet that if he met Cupid himself, Tony wanted him to hug the angel.

Clarence didn't believe in love and found a story about the famous angelic hero to be a fraud.

"Welcome, please introduce yourself and tell us why you are here," the AA moderator asked the newcomer who sat next to his side

"Hello everybody, I'm Tony and was asked by my friend Clarence to come here", as he pointed to his seatmate. "He thinks I have been drinking again since I told him about my encounter with an angel."

Clarence was shocked that Tony blurted the whole incidence out to the whole group.."And Tony, who was this angel?" asked the moderator.

"It was ... It was Cupid, there I said it."

Tony knew he had to prove to his friend that he was not drinking again, so he continued.

"Yes, I was walking down this alleyway and was looking for some change. It was there that I saw a strange man who wore an angelic costume with a bow and arrow. I thought it was weird to see someone like that and thought he too was in trouble. At first, I pinched myself to see if I was hallucinating. A guy who hadn't eaten for days can do that you know? My ex-wife threw me out of our house and I had to find a place to stay. I didn't have enough coins with me, so I was looking for some change to use the payphone. So, once I tapped the stranger's shoulder, he looked at me strangely as Cupid thought he was invisible. However, we got to chat a bit and instead of the call for Clarence to pick me up, Cupid flew me over to his house. So you see, it might be a ridiculous story to most, but I'm telling the truth!"

"I think you got something there Tony. And ...."

Before the moderator could finish his sentence, Clarence interrupted him.

"Please, don't tell me you believe all of that bunch of foolishness, Sam."

"Sam. who's Sam? I'm Cupid".

Just then Clarence realized that all the men in the room have wings on their back, which made him rub his eyes.

"Wait a minute, aren't we in Alcohol Anonymous?"

I'm afraid not, didn't you see the sign, Sir? It says "Angels, Anonymous', they moved the AA program upstairs!"
